Statement of Intent

statement

Ok, I’m going to be honest. Right from the “Hello World”. This is probably the fifth blog I’ve started. Historically, the average lifespan of these blogs is usually under ten posts. I aim to change that with this one, and that means having a clear purpose not unlike the gentleman in the image above. A Statement of Intent. This post should serve as an indicator of the content that will (that must) follow, and a yardstick to measure myself against. Ahem.

Things I will do on this blog:

  1. Write an opinion on a subject when I believe I have an informed view and something to say that hasn’t already been said.
  2. Curate what I view as excellence in creativity, design, development or humanity.
  3. Constructively criticize work I believe to be inadequate or ethically wrong.
  4. Share ideas or experiments to hear your feedback on them.

Things I won’t do on this blog:

  1. Paraphrase someone else’s opinion or write something that I don’t have a genuine opinion on just to appear “active”. Quality over quantity.
  2. Reblog stuff that looks good for the sake of reblogging stuff. See “excellence” clause above.
  3. Mindlessly rant about a subject without having a logical argument.
  4. Hide useful stuff that I can (client confidentality permitting) show that could be helpful to others.

Well, that’s the theory. Don’t hesitate to call me out if I stray too far from my lofty intentions! Thanks for reading.
